My turn ! Request an interview and I will ask you five questions. There's a few of you that leave comments and I know nothing about you, so please play along.
EJG III 1. I know that's not your real name, did you get the grug from THE Grug ? You kind of look alike. Does the rest mean anyhthing ? 2. What do you miss about being in a band ? What don't you miss ? 3. If I could give you any established license for you to make comics about what would you choose ? 4. Could you explain Lollipop Day to me ? Does it actually involve Lollipops ? I know it involves bus drivers dressed as wrestlers and some such. 5. Least favourite Australian celebrity ?
mike stevens ! 1. Would you rather be a mummy or a vampire ? You can't say zombie. 2. I'm damn impressed that you've never missed a stripfight. What's the closest you've come to fucking that up ? 3. Your feelings about Blue Beetle getting shot in the head ? 4. What would you be doing if you couldn't do comics ? 5. Is there anything else you want to add to the itinerary when we go on our time travel date?
scott m davis 1. What's the M stand for ? 2. Where exactly do you live anyway ? 3. What video game would you love to have YOU as a playable character in ? 4. If you did a comic strip like mine what would today's drawing be of ? 5. Worst trouble you got in as a kid ?
Non Stop Ive ! said... mike stevens ! 1. Would you rather be a mummy or a vampire ? You can't say zombie. zombie. hands down .... oh wait um ... i'll have to go vampire. i mean you can still do alot of yer norm stuff.and i'm up all night anyways. and like it doesnt seem like mummies ever have any fun they just moan and bitch, but vampires get laid ... good times.
2. I'm damn impressed that you've never missed a stripfight. What's the closest you've come to fucking that up ? theres actually been a few times. round 4 or 5 whatever the jenny everywhere round was, it was the first round i ever colored so i was all proud of it and when the site finally got updated my strip wasnt there and it declared dalton as the only submitter since round one. i was so sad. i emailed it to ed as quickly as possible and it all got straightened out. that was the day i decided i was gonna do it as long as possible. and a couple rounds i submitted right under the wire.(the inside the mind round ed actually messaged me and asked where it was.)
3. Your feelings about Blue Beetle getting shot in the head ? distraught!!!! (but i just keep saying thank god it wasn't booster gold.) no i have always been a blue beetle fan, mainly cause i didnt know shit about him and he was just so homely. i feel it was kind of a cop out. they should really kill someone significant (though throught inifinity crisis they have said more deaths shall occur) but they shoulda killed the joker, one of the 2 times they made it seem so, or lois lane, or im sorry keep hal dead i love me some kyle raynar. but all in al he had a good way to go y'know just no bullshit just a bullet to the face. thats respectable. like when rufus dies in final fantasy 7.
4. What would you be doing if you couldn't do comics ? i'd play an assload more video games.no but seriously i've thought of this alot. i love writing (but i dont think im nearly good enough). ive been told by many that i was good at acting but the whole acting cliques creep the hell outta me. i saw this guy today who was literally just a wanderer. he had some mangy clothes, a milk jug full of water, a back pack stuffed and a doggy companion. he looked badass. but im really thinking to suport myself while i try to make a living off comics i was thinking of being a mail man.
5. Is there anything else you want to add to the itinerary when we go on our time travel date? kick hitler, let me have not made an ass outta myself in front of kelly, push chris claremont down a flight of staires before he can ruin every great thing in the x-men recently. lets present ourselves as gods to some princesses in the middle ages and get some sweet loving (total bill and ted style).
hah and thats about it. if you ever have any more questions you know where i am. bye!
everett 1. Do you have a job at all ? 2. Last cd, dvd and game you bought ? 3. You know I'm only doing this thing to distract me from actual work I should be doing ? 4. Do you have any party tricks ? 5. If you did a comic strip like mine what would todays entry be ? (I like this question)
1. No job at all, or ever. I'm goign to be on the streets soon. 2. Well since I dont have a job, the last game I bought was shadowrunner for the SNES way back when the SNES was the shit. 3. Oh, I thought it was a ploy to get people who dont normally comment to comment, but sure! 4. I can sort of breath fire and get shot in the ass with bb guns. Oh yeah, and molotovs! 5. A journal comic? Thats what my ideal starting place would be. I guess todays entry would be me LARPing monopoly. Yeeaaaahhh.
Sara 1. Paisley ! How old is she ? How long have you had her ? since she was a kitten ? (I probably knew all this and have forgotten) 2. Does it totally shit you when people put a H at the end of Sara ? Or do you understand ? 3. Can you tell me anything about this project you plan on drawing ? 4. What do you want to be when you grow up anyway ? 5. Tell me something you know about Australia that you didn't learn from me.
EJG III 1. I know that's not your real name, did you get the grug from THE Grug ? You kind of look alike. Does the rest mean anyhthing ? Yes, in high school I got the nickname Grug, from the Australian Children's book by Ted Prior. The rest was added when I needed a wanky sounding stage name while I was doing stand-up comedy. We were bad poets, and most shows degenerated into a fight.
2. What do you miss about being in a band ? What don't you miss ? I miss being on stage, I LOVE that! I am not a great musician, nor a great singer, but I always had a great band, it was crazy. (no false modesty, I suck) I have a good front man presence, so I got to play that role a whole bunch of times. I DON'T miss the late nights, I am a sleep baby.
3. If I could give you any established license for you to make comics about what would you choose ? Ok, I LOVE funny animal comics, I would enjoy working with Felix the Cat or Woody Woodpecker (he was such a jerk!) or Chilly Willy. Peter Porker, the Amazing Spider-Ham would be right up my alley too. If I was to work on some mainstream super-hero character it would probably be a) Plastic Man b) MXYZPTLIK c) The Fantasic Four (I don't enjoy FF comics, but I could have fun with those characters).
4. Could you explain Lollipop Day to me ? Does it actually involve Lollipops ? I know it involves bus drivers dressed as wrestlers and some such.
Hahaha, it's actually Radio Lollypop Day, and it's where people (esp bus drivers) collect money for Radio Lollypop, which is the radio station for kids at princess margret hospital (do you guys have that, or something simillar over there?). On Radio Lollypop Day the bus drivers don't have to wear uniforms, some of them dress up, some just turn up to work in shorts.
1. Paisley ! How old is she ? How long have you had her ? since she was a kitten ? (I probably knew all this and have forgotten)
Paisley is almost three years old. I sort of arbitrarily gave her a birthday based on some information I had from the person who gave her to me when she was almost one. You can read a full bio of Paisley here: http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?j=t&i=113970 (although it says she's only a year old; I need to change that). Paisley is THE BEST and she's sitting on my right leg as I type this.
2. Does it totally shit you when people put a H at the end of Sara ? Or do you understand ?
Yes it shits me! When I was a kid, my grade level had five girls named Sara(h) in it, so it was not uncommon for it to be spelled wrong. I understand if it's someone I've never met or don't know and has never seen it spelled out--but I hate when someone replies to an e-mail or writes on my lovejournal or something and spells it wrong. It's not like "Sara" is an unconventional spelling (in fact it is the more common one). My freshman year at college, our RA had made these little signs for each door with the names of the girls that lived there--and my shitty asshole roommate would leave a note RIGHT UNDERNEATH MINE that would say "Sarah- your mom called" or whatever. It made me so mad. She was an asshole and that was not at all the worst thing she did to me. Also that's how I came up with my livejournal name "Sara with No H" because my German teacher called me "Sara ohne H" which translates to that. Yes. Long answer.
3. Can you tell me anything about this project you plan on drawing ?
I don't want to say too much about it, but it's a project for a class that involves drawing some. it will be done soon and you'll see it then.
4. What do you want to be when you grow up anyway ?
Dead.
5. Tell me something you know about Australia that you didn't learn from me.
Australia developed the secret ballot voting system, which is used in America today. It's known as the secret or Australian ballot; I remember that from government class. Also the thing about the water going the other way and how it was once a penal colony.
cotard 1. How did you discover this wonderful site ? 2. Are you into any other comics or cartoonists ? 3. I've found that every Australian that reads this page is either from here in Geelong or Perth. Can you explain that ? Do you guys get free computers or something ? 4. Favourite swear word ? 5. Would you be willing to have a mullet for the rest of your life if it meant you could have the powers of Superman for one year ?
k to the rob 1. a/s/l ? (I already know two of these) 2. How would I recognize YOU at the Nash ? 3. What do you do all day ? Do you work anywhere ? 4. Favourite Beastie Boys album ? 5. If we were to meet would you be willing to do some dares in order for you to appear in my comic ? I also accept cash.
Seattle Jon 1. I know you check out other Grind comics, which ones do you like ? 2. If you could tattoo anything you wanted on the face of anyone alive who would it be and what would you put on them ? 3. Tell me something cool about Seattle 4. *ahem* What are you wearing ? 5. If you did a comic strip like mine what would today's drawing be of ? (yeah I guess I'm out of steam)
Dani Hi Dani, nice to meet you :) These will be boring getting to know you questions. 1. How did you find my comic ? How long ago ? 2. a/s/l ? 3. So what do you do ? 4. What was the last thing you ate ? 5. If you could go back in time and invent something and have it named after you what would you choose ?
1. a/s/l ? (I already know two of these) 22/f/G-town represent!
2. How would I recognize YOU at the Nash ? Well, I wear mostly black, band shirts, always a studded belt, I have red hair dyed brown at the mo, I have natural curls but sometimes i kill them with the straightener, and I sometimes wear black rimmed emo/nerd glasses. And more often than not, I am hammered.
3. What do you do all day ? Do you work anywhere ? I study graphic design at Monash in Caulfield. Yes I travel up and back from Geelong, takes about 2 hours. This is my final year. Before that I did Dip of Graphic Arts at the Gordon. Oh, I also work in The Dungeon aka Spotlight Geelong on weekends, but the store is moving to Newcomb in June so maybe not for much longer. Been there 3 years. *shudder*.
4. Favourite Beastie Boys album ? I'd say the Anthology is my most played. I don't own all albums though *gasp* yes I know I suck.
5. If we were to meet would you be willing to do some dares in order for you to appear in my comic ? I also accept cash. Hehe. Hell yeah especially if I'm blotto at the Nash I'm up for anything. Or maybe instead of dares I could give you the number for the payphone in the pool room...don't ask me how I have it, but we often give it a call and ask whoever answers what's happening, what's the vibe, is it worth going out, are they winning pool etc.
Ok here's my Geelong-based interview for YOU! 1) Best place to eat in Geelong? 2) CC, Sanity, Leading Edge or Bent Wind? 3) How do you feel about all the construction happening in town? 4) Kardinia Cafe or Texas Hamburgers? 5) Favourite thing about Geelong? 6) Favourite slang for Geelong? G-town, G-schlong, G-hole - any others?
VENESSA !! umm wow, what's something we haven't covered already ? This will be a challenge. 1. How do you make yourself do schoolwork that you hate ? Seriously it really impresses me. I love what I do and still couldn't be screwed half the time. 2. Would you rather have a pig that talks but smells like shit or a flying donkey that bites you on the belly every single day ? 3. When did you first think "Holy shit ! That Ive guy likes me way too much" ? 4. You've eaten some CRAZY things ! Did you ever make something then regret it when you tasted it ? 5. Who's nerdier me or you ? Why ? 6. Why the fuck is soccer on ? It's not happy tree friends at all !
Nice too meet you too I'm introducing myself alot cause of these things....hmmmm anyway here your answeres:
1. I believe it was through Natasha/Grug's journals sue to the wedding comics things...they're soo funny :P 2. 16/f/USA 3. I'm stil, unfortunately a high school student...next year's my last year tho :D 4. i actually just ate 2 tuna fish sandwiches i stayed home sick today adn that was the only thing i could find to eat...and it was like the only thing i've had today... 5. uhm...i havent a clue honestly...i dont think i'd WANT something named after me ya know? cause that'd be wierd...
Venessa - hey! Yes i do know Dane, my fellow red house redhead, say hi from me. Tibor is the mo-fuckin man, he's so funny and quirky. I miss that crazy guy. Once I did a cubist style painting and he said "It's so horrible! I love it!" hehe.
